Mavi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unbreakable I'm still but it feel different
Long day ahead at best
Paul Heyman with the check
Caucasians made my presence a meal ticket
I be hanging on the edge
Sleeping teeter on the precipice still centered
I been feeling like a giver
Still won't tell her that I miss her
Swear I need that lil kiss w the squeal with it
We be hanging in the dark
We surprise em with the prowess
If it ain't to give a spark we'd be still hidden
Prone to languish in my scars
Waste away when I'm at howard
School a break and rip apart a whole lil village
I can't pace it with this art
Scraped a project off the bottom
Made a painting of my heart w a lil filter
I keep cadence w my heart
Still alive defying logic
Cost a payment up to god w a lil interest
W a lil interest in the field
But it feel different
Keep it real show me your real intentions
Keep it sealed we still need a lil rinsing in the field but it feel different
In Mavi's song "Daylight Savings," the rapper reflects on his life and the way his presence is often commodified by society, particularly by white people. He opens the song with the line "Gs making room for kills," and it's clear from the outset that he's focused on the idea of wealth and how it can be used to take advantage of people. He goes on to describe feeling unbreakable but also different, as if his success has made him somehow separate from the rest of the world.
Throughout the song, Mavi touches on a number of different themes, from his relationships with others to his struggles with his own mental health. He seems to be grappling with feelings of isolation and discomfort even as he finds success, and the song is a powerful exploration of what it means to be a young black man in America today.
One of the most striking elements of "Daylight Savings" is Mavi's use of language. He deliberately plays with words and phrases, using internal rhyme and repetition to create a sense of momentum and urgency. The song is full of vivid images and surrealistic touches, making it a fascinating and unique piece of music.
